"Great pizza at Vinci’s. Nice selection to choose from, we got a slice of the Mortadella and the “Banger” which were both delicious. Would go back to try the others, especially since the Special pizza changes every fortnight. Pretty good value and even just one slice fills you up for lunch. Really loved the variety of condiments - the hot honey especially was amazing. The only downside is that the space is a little small, and the outside seating is right next to the road and the parked cars, but the pizza makes up for it!"

"After been in NZ for two yrs and tried Pizzas In Auckland, Queenstown, Wellington…and finally I found my favorite pizza place in Napier!!! Mamamia! You don’t know how buonissimo the pizza 🍕 is! We ordered 4slices at beginning then we ordered another two. The mushroom one is really good and with the chili sauce we found on table was another level! Thank you chef and the front girl for making us so happy after my 10kms run. Also their music playlist is nice! Anyway, we highly recommend this place and I believe one day I will drive 5hrs just for having pizza at this place!"

I love Vinci’s pizza down the road, where you can buy it by the slice: I had a beef brisket and white kim chi pizza sprinkled with sesame seeds and it was delicious. Or (all on the same street) head to pan-Asian joint Black Pearl for fried chicken or a lovely, filling tonkatsu ramen soup.
